  2.  

    Two former UN Secretary Generals, both in their 90s, still living:

    Javier Pérez de Cuéllar (age 95) Boutros Boutros-Ghali (age 92)

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boutros_Boutros-Ghali

     

    Both would be good candidates for 2016. Opinions? Obituaries would be a non-issue as both were once important figures in international politics.

     

    Good thinking Guest. I don't think any of us had considered either of these before.....

     

     

    False! I have already both in my Deathlist 2015 :)

  3. After a long time back online. Status at halftime 2015: 6 of 50 ! not bad so far. solely in the last week two hits (Christopher Lee and Kirk Kerkorian). My personal goal in 2015 is twelve hits and better than offiicial Deathlist....... not impossible for my opinion.

    in this sense, every success to you and nice Weekend.
